FOUR TYPES OF HRIS ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS

            According to Christopher Bartlett and Sumantra Ghoshal, the worldwide organizational models can be categorized into the following four types which are multinational, global, international and transnational. Each of these models has their own differences.

            The first of these models is the “Multinational HRIS” model. This type of HRIS model is particularly adept at addressing and responding to local needs and is thus more sensitive to individual cultural and national differences. Moreover, the Multinational HRIS can benefit the organizations that totally autonomous cultures because it is play an important role.

            At the opposite extreme is the highly centralized organization that has been call as the “Global Organization” model. The driving force behind the Global HRIS is focus on maximizing efficiency and on building a single standardized organization. In addition, organizations with strong homogeneous cultures benefit from such a model.

            The third model has been known as the “International Organization” model. The great advantage of the International HRIS model is focus on sharing cross border learning and innovation. This model facilitates the transfer and adaptation of knowledge, retains advantages of centralized control and process while at the same time shares best practices across local business units. This type of HRIS is useful for developing new organizations around the world.

The Transnational HRIS model is increasing the complexity, diversity and volatility. This model is the one that embraces and exploits such paradoxes. Clearly, the advantage to the Transnational HRIS model is its ability to respond effectively and swiftly to the demands brought about by the Sturm und Drang of the Digital Age.

            In conclusion, all of the models are about worldwide organizational and those model will help me to understand more about the development and implementation of innovative business processes in my future life. Besides that, I am also being able to learn cross border to share knowledge because one of these models is about sharing cross border learning and innovation.
